Audience
This manual is intended for installers and system administrators of the
AlterPath KVM/net and for users who may be authorized to connect to
devices and to manage power through the AlterPath KVM/net.
This document describes configuration, administration, and use of the
AlterPath KVM/net only. It does not describe how to set up and administer
other external services or servers that the AlterPath KVM/net may access for
authentication, system logging, SNMP notifications, data logging, file
sharing, or other purposes. This document assumes that users who are
authorized to connect to servers and other devices through the AlterPath
KVM/net already know how to use the connected devices.
